Sunday, March 28, 2010 . . . Stephen was on shift . . . I was a wreck . . . I sat through church and Sunday school and my phone never left my hand as we were hoping that we would hear of a decision. We knew someone was taking a little baby girl home tomorrow . . . . we just did not know who. At about 6pm I made the decision to go ahead and purchase a car seat . . . just in case . . . I could always take it back right? Plus I knew that if we were chosen . . . I wouldn’t want to have to think about that last minute. My mind was spinning and I needed to get out. Thankfully a wonderful woman from my Sunday School class offered to come with me to keep me company. It was nice to get out and just do something instead of just staring at the phone. While at the baby store the agency called and told me that the birth mom was having a really hard time making a decision and we would find something out in the morning. Wowsers . . . God had me on my knees . . . I knew of my anxiety . . . but I was having difficulty processing the struggles that the birth family was going through. I prayed so hard for this birth mother and her family . . . that she would have peace, clarity and confidence in whatever decision she came to . . . whether it be parenting or placing her precious child with us or the other family for adoption. I prayed for the other adoptive family as I knew they were feeling what I was feeling. The finale of our journey ends tomorrow :-) . . . . to be continued . . .
